SebArt Pilatus PC-21 50E GP Review, Part 2 - Scoring

Watch part 1 here: • SebArt Pilatus PC-21 5...
Another premiere offering from SebArt, the Pilatus PC-21 50e GP ARF is not only beautiful in the air, it's an absolute beast! The prototype is a jet trainer offered by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. in Stans, Switzerland. While we certainly can't afford the price tag on the real deal, this scaled down version would make any pilot grin from the moment it leaves the ground. True Italian luxury, the SebArt Pilatus PC-21 is a flying experience we'll remember for many years to come..Check out the review!

You guys are just brilliant, I wish you still did reviews like this one. I suppose you have to make a living but reviews like this are just priceless. I'm flying a Sebart Mytho and Angel, with a Sukhoi waiting in the wings, and it's partly thanks to you guys.

Aileron response was dialed up pretty high for testing. Throw in some expos and rates and it's actually very docile. We were intentionally flaring heavy in the grass and had a dead crosswind of about 5-8 mph. Once it gets into ground effect it's very manageable. We weren't very fair with the footage used. Thanks for watching!

If you look on the product page, it offers both prop specs. We found it had better thrust with the 16x10e prop over the 16x8e. Since we ran with 6S we also got better top speed. Thanks for watching!

More commonly you see 2S power plants that can run 3S or 5S going to 6S. You'd have to check your ESC and Motor ratings. In any case, you should always change the prop to maximize performance. For performance and safety reasons many 2S park flyers require you switch out to a standard electric prop to handle the higher RPMs if you move to 3S since the 2S setup uses slow fly electric props. Slow fly prop max RPM limits are lower than "E", or standard "speed" electric props.

The vertical was amazing on that... Nice power system choice.
Ailerons sure looked twitchy though - in flight a couple times but especially on landing.

Great review guys. And yes, that is one beautiful plane.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

awesome plane ,and review guy's,can you run 4s on some planes that are designed for 3s?

[@2BrothersHobby]

[@2BrothersHobby]

You can certainly try:)

[@johnmitton5129]

thanks 2B . I have purchased both.

Hey guys - quality review - thanks. Already ordered on the TP sale but it confirms my choice and gives me confidence in the experience to come. The manual recommends APC 16x8e but your review tested with APC 16x10e. Can you comment please?

How do I install the servo ez connectors that came with the SebArt PC-21? The thickness of the servo horn does not allow for the bolt to come out far enough to allow the nut to be put all the way on, it is flush with the end.

[@rip1067a]

wish i'd known about this airplane before ordering my Tucano Kit... oh well... can't have every plane ... can you?

[@2BrothersHobby]

hehe, as much as we liked the plane it just isn't worth it man. Maybe a toe.
